DYLAN-------my long lost friend. How the heck are you? I saw you too ;0<P>My life has been..........well-good and sad. A lot has happened since I left here-thinking I was going to heal oh so fast.<P>While I am doing well in the healing department it did take me 5 months of chit chat with the OW and thinking we could rekindle the old friendship we had to discovering that it isn't going to happen-ever. I am doing OK with that-I tried-and I saw much that cleared up things in my fogged filled head.H and I are still doing well-he has ventured on to taking a firefighting academy course so he can do volunteer work up at the local fire department. When he competes this he will take the EMT course. I am proud of him-and he will be doing things that will fill his needs to give back to our community.<P>The kids are well and sassy-as always <P>Tell me-how the heck are you?<P>I miss you oh so much.<P>I would never forget those parties-LOL<P>------------------<BR>*heartache*<P>"Life's A Dance<BR>You Learn As You Go.<BR>Sometimes You Lead<BR>Sometimes You Follow!<BR>Don't worry 'Bout What You Don't Know<BR>LIfe's A Dance <BR>You Learn As You Go."<p>[This message has been edited by heartache (edited April 10, 2001).]

the thing needs to run it's course.....<P>we all secretly think we are superwomen, and we will be the 'one'that heals quikly, we'll be ok, our damage will be minimal, etc...blah, blah...<P>you can't deal with much of the bullcrap until you deal with some inner parts of yourself....it took me a awhile of living in denial, and then living selfishly within my own problems and neuroses to figure out that I just HAD to relax...<P>it's still there...but that stupid old cliche is stupidly true....lol.....time does indeed heal....it is a process that you cannot rush, define nor explain properly because it is such an intensly person journey for one and all....elements can be similar to others, even curcumstances and emotions, but at the core of it, it is personal and a life-altering journey in the truest sense ...<P>you'll get there when you get there....just give yourself the tools and information and faith you need to see you through it....<P>as for the OW thing....I believe in the need for closure on many levels....honey, you need to do what YOU need to do....explore all avenues......why the hell not....with time comes the ability to see through 'wisened' (is that a word?)..eyes...more logically, less intensly emotionally....I could probably bump into OW somewhere and be civil...and walk away....I hope that, at least...I am into fixing me right now...I have no time to waste in my short life on thoughts of her, or reactions to her, and if I thought a conversation with her would help me, hey! I'd be at her door with a bottle of wine, sayin' hey, can we talk?....but it's ok....<P>I am healing.....Deut is healing.....we are healing.....<P>ok......so what are you having to drink?...<P>and can you pass the coconut oil?]<P>

beep, beep, beep. Bus backing in here. Hey no wide load remarks .<P>OK Dylan I am crashing this party. And I told everyone else to crash it too.<P>::waves and yells :: Hi everybody ! Now where're the gators at ?

Okay, I'll be the official MB party bartender! <P>I will be escorted by my two favorite men, Mr. Jose Cuervo and Mr. Jack Daniels.<P>The first round of shooters is on me, y'all!

ladies, I leave this party in capable hands while I go shopping for party favours!!...<P>I shall return presently and expect to see some pretty uproarious behaviour going on.....<P>of course, with Deb here, it can't help but happen... <P>love ya!!<P>

Howdy hey neighbors!! <P>Into the bus I go just to deliver this message:<P>I need to shop too... for candles... what does that have to do with this party? Nothing. <P>But... while I'm there, I will get some salmon... and into the blender it will go! Remember, save room for the yummy <B>salmon whip</B>!! Think bass-o-matic!!!!! <P>Oh, and CB, Jack Daniels goes GREAT with it... well, really before it... like eight shots before it!! hahaha <P>Be right back...<P><P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<BR>(a bit worse for the wear, but hanging in there)<P><B>Life <I>is</I> difficult</B>.<BR><I>The Road Less Traveled</I><BR>~M.

LOLOLOL-I sure hate to bash my own party but...........I just put a pot of coffee on for myself-LOL Maybe after noon I can go get some hard lemonade or maybe a cadillac version of your favorite margarita. Truthfully my pals-it is so damp and chilly here today that coffee is all that sounds good to me.<P>As for the whipped salmon-THAT speaks for itself <P>I say nachos-loaded with jalapenos-so when we take those straight shots miss CB is dishing up we can cool off our hot mouths.<P>------------------<BR>*heartache*<P>"Life's A Dance<BR>You Learn As You Go.<BR>Sometimes You Lead<BR>Sometimes You Follow!<BR>Don't worry 'Bout What You Don't Know<BR>LIfe's A Dance <BR>You Learn As You Go."<p>[This message has been edited by heartache (edited April 10, 2001).]

So, what ARE the rules??? I'm so happy to see another party on this board I could just scream, dance the naked happy dance, something!@@<P>Hi, Everybody! The oldies are showing up, I see. CB, bring Mr. Cuervo this way - it's Robert's favorite. I'll just keep him company until Robert gets home! <P>I'll go throw together some goodies!<P>Lori

Hey!<P>So THIS is what it takes to hear from old friends, huh? A PARTY! I would have hosted one LONG ago if I knew it would bring you all out of hiding! Gosh, it seems good to see some familiar "names"! I hope you are doing as well as your posts sound!<P>Peppermint

Back with the candles (they're for ME, ME, ME!!!) and the SALMON for the whip -- and that's for ALL OF US!!<P><B>Recipe for Salmon Whip</B> : <P>Salmon<BR>Whipped Cream (heavy)<P>Take a blender, then put the salmon in (boned, of course -- you don't think I'd keep 'em in do ya? Sheesh!) and then add the cream.<P>Turn on blender.<P>Pour into fancy glass - crystal is lovely so you can enjoy the pretty pink color. But if you left the eyeballs, dark green is best.<P>Put in a loopy straw, like the kind from the dollar store that looks like a roller coaster.<P>Enjoy!!<P>I know **I** will!! and <P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<BR>(a bit worse for the wear, but hanging in there)<P><B>Life <I>is</I> difficult</B>.<BR><I>The Road Less Traveled</I><BR>~M.

***insert Jamaican accent*** You put dee lime in dee coconut and move it all around...<P>Ah, Senor Cuervo...the only man that can convince me that "table dancing" is a good idea! I'm passing him on to Lori! Any takers for Mr. Daniels? He's eligible and knows how to show a girl a good time! <P>I love the Salmon Whip, NB!!! So, who's providing dessert?!<p>[This message has been edited by Carolina Belle (edited April 10, 2001).]

Hey gals!!!!!<P>It's me ( hiding under the piles and piles of floppy disks books and homework assignments ). Gosh I miss all you guys. I barely have time to breathe let alone write letters or posts or anything else for that matter, but I will take a breather for a margaritta of some sort.<P>Hey! where's Jaun Carlos with the sun tan oil, the tall cool icy drinks and the rattan mats for stretching out on.<P>I'm in.<P><BR>Nicole

Oh yummy-all those good smells floating around (except the fishy smell I keep getting a wiff of-lol).<P>HIYA OLDIES!!!!! It is so good to see you all popping up here! I mean it. Let's show the newbies how happy they will one day be shall we?CB-I love that song-I haven't heard it in eons!<P>Now let's all line up and do the macarena. I'm first <P>And for dessert-strawberry/rhubarb pie, coconut cream pie, texas brownies, jell-o (for the hot tub).<P>PARTY TIME!!!!!!!<P>------------------<BR>*heartache*<P>"Life's A Dance<BR>You Learn As You Go.<BR>Sometimes You Lead<BR>Sometimes You Follow!<BR>Don't worry 'Bout What You Don't Know<BR>LIfe's A Dance <BR>You Learn As You Go."
